Part 2: http://kittenangel797.blogspot.com/2013/02/when-rivals-go-too-far-part-2.htm

Here's a quick recap:

• Jen, Alejandro, and Scott all got fired not only because Alejandro and Scott were fighting, but the former also flirted with Jennifer.
• Helena's plan to help Scott leave town (and his wife) failed due to Jennifer's bribery on Duncan and Clarette and Daniel left anyway.
• But Scott still intends to leave Jennifer. 

And now, here's part 3.

Later that night...

Upon returning home from what happened earlier, Helena decided that it's her turn to use Duncan against Jennifer! But the poor guy is on the verge of not wanting to be involved in any more of their schemes!

Luckily, his new girlfriend, Emily, is there for moral support!

 As they get ready for preparations for their trip for the Parker House, Greg and Hannah take their time to assure each other that Helena doesn't know their secret.

Hannah If my sister finds out that I'm having your baby, she's going to freak, and then what?
Greg Don't worry. Even if she did, she's got problems of her own. Besides, that would be her problem. Not ours. And there's nothing she can do about it without being punished by your parents, right?
Hannah (reluctantly) Right.

 For those of you who don't know what Hannah and Greg are talking about, here's the facts:

1. Helena doesn't like Greg (she doesn't like guys with facial hair)
2. She ruined Hannah's relationship with her last boyfriend, Ethan Jurgins
3. Hannah and Helena had a fight over Greg and Mario in June (which results in Hannah and Greg consummating their relationship)
4. Hannah ended up pregnant with Greg's child (or children)
5. The two decided to keep the baby in spite of Helena (they're both 27! ;) )

And Helena has yet to know about the pregnancy.

 Duncan and Emily walk by in time to hear the conversation!

Hannah Oh no! Did you two hear everything?
Emily Yeah! But congrats to the both of you!

 Duncan suddenly panics. What would happen if Helena found out about all this? What would she do?

Duncan Listen, you guys. I really don't want to get in trouble this time. I already have enough on my plate this time with Jen and your sister.

 Greg Well...Whatever it is that's going on between Hannah and me, please don't tell Helena! I'm worried about what she might do to Hannah when she finds out about our baby!
Emily Well...We don't exactly know what to say, exactly.

Duncan begins to think rationally. This was another problem on his plate. And if Helena finds out what it is, they were all in big trouble. So it was time for him to decide.

 After five minutes of thinking about it, Duncan finally made his decision.

Duncan As much as I hate to admit it, I'll keep my mouth shut about you two. But are you both sure about this? I mean, Helena can be a bad wolf sometimes.
Hannah Yes. We're sure. But this whole thing's our little secret, right?

 Duncan Sure thing. But don't get mad at me when it all goes down. Okay. Besides, your secret's safe with us.
Emily Yes! Absolutely!
Greg Seriously?
Duncan Yeah! Now get going. We'll see you when you get back, okay?
Hannah Okay. And guys?
Emily Yeah?
Hannah Thank you.

 

As some of the residents prepare to leave for Thanksgiving vacation, Rose begins to suspect that Helena may be up to no good. And as for Wesley, he may have encourage the suspicions by mentioning that Helena is looking at Scott with a grin on her face.

As for Alejandro, Rose also suspects that he may have had a hand in something that may be fishy to her. But what is it?

 And little does Rose realize that Alejandro is listening in on her conversation with Wesley.

Alejandro As long as my beautiful ex doesn't find out about my plans involving Helena and Jennifer, everything should be smooth sailing! Ha Ha Ha!

As everyone hangs out for a little bit, Olivia notices Alex's hair was a bit out of place.

Olivia Ummm...Alex?
Alex Yeah?
Olivia There's something up with your hair. Oh. Let me fix it!

So she does.
Alex (kisses Olivia) Thanks, babe!
Olivia You're welcome!

Meanwhile, the rumors surrounding Helena, Jennifer, Scott, and Alejandro begin to spread like wildfire. And it won't be long until it reaches the ear of a certain man of Helena's.

Upon hearing all the rumors about his girlfriend, Mario decided that it was time to confront her about it.

Mario What's up with you? You cheating on me?
Helena No. Whatever are you talking about?
Mario About whether or not the rumors about someone kissing my woman are true.
Helena I'm pretty sure they're not.
Mario Good. Because someone told me you did. And when I find out what you're doing, it's splits-ville for the both of us.
Helena (outraged) Who on earth told you that stupid lie?
Mario Jen did.
Helena (to herself) Why that stupid, idiotic, good-for-nothing....(well you get the picture)

Speaking of Jennifer....

It looks like Jennifer and Scott's marriage may be over sooner than she thinks.

Jennifer You're nothing without me!
Scott Is that right?
Jennifer It is right, you stupid idiot! I'm the one trying to save our marriage!
Scott No way! I'm the one trying to save our marriage! You destroyed it by cheating on me with Alejandro!
Jennifer As if! I didn't cheat on you with that loser and you know it!

As the argument continues, everyone in the room looks on with shock. But Helena looks on with a grin on her face, confirming Rose's suspicions over what she's got planned.
Rose So Helena's the one who's up to something. And it looks like she destroyed Jen's marriage!
Wesley nods in agreement.

 Had it over Jennifer's narcissism, Scott decided it was permanently over between them.

Scott You know what, Jen? I'm tired of this whole charade between us! It's over. Goodbye, Jen! And leave, leave, LEAVE me alone!

Scott storms off with everyone looking on with shock. But as for Helena...

Helena (to herself) This is working better than I hoped! Once Scott's gone, it will be time for Phase 2: Jennifer in Permanent Ruins!

 Helena snickered. Upon hearing what was going on, Jennifer becomes furious!

Jennifer You think this is funny?! My marriage is toast because of you're scheming a** wedging up on us! And you know what, once I find out what you're doing, you're going to pay!
Helena (laughing) With what? Money? You won't have a single penny left when you get divorced!
Jennifer By the time this year's over, it be just money you will pay, but it will include interest! Just you wait and see!
Helena(still laughing) Yeah. And I'll be seeing you permanently held behind bars forever.
Jennifer Is that right? Well guess what? When your boyfriend finds out about your little scheme and what you really think of him, we'll see who will be getting the last laugh!

As Jennifer leaves abruptly to cool off, Mario begins to question where he really stands in his relationship. Could Jennifer be right?

Mario What was that all about?
Helena Just a little thing called being the better woman.
Mario You sure about that?
Helena Of course I'm sure! Now leave me alone.
Mario (sadly) Fine. I'll go hang out. See ya when you get back!
Helena You're not going.
Mario Nope. Family get-together stuff not my thing. Bye!
Helena (disappointed) Fine. Bye.

But little did Helena realize, something's up with Mario, too! But what is it?

 Meanwhile, more determined to leave town more than ever, upon seeing Duncan's strange disguise, Scott decided what better way to fool his wife than dressing up as someone else! It would be a foolproof plan and it may be one to succeed if he knew how it would be done!

So anyway, Scott approaches Duncan over the clothes to ask him a favor.

Scott Yo, Scott!
Duncan (nervously) What's up?
Scott I have a favor to ask of you.
Duncan (to himself) Uh oh! Looks like I'm getting involved in another plot. Can't I ever catch a break?
Duncan (clears himself up) What's that?
Scott I need to borrow your stuff.
Duncan My clothes? But I don't wanna be naked! That would be bad!
Scott Not all your clothes, idiot! Just your hat, scarf and over-shirt!

 So anyway, Duncan reluctantly agreed. He took off his hat, scarf, and over-shirt with Emily's help. By the time they were done, Duncan handed the stuff over to Scott.

Duncan What are planning to do anyway?
Scott Leave town and start a new life, I guess.
Duncan Well, don't get me involved in any more of your schemes okay?
Scott Sure thing.
Emily Well, take care.
Scott You, too.

Yeesh. It looks like Alejandro must be overhearing all this. But what are his true plans?

 As soon as Scott dresses up, Helena arrives with a car.

Helena Ready?
Scott As I'll ever be. You sure this is fool-proof this time?
Helena Sure is! What? Have you no faith in me? Let's go!
Scott Okay. Let's go.

And so, Duncan and Emily watch as Helena and Scott get into the car and leave for the airport. Emily looks at Duncan with worry as they begin to drive away.

Duncan Yeesh. What have I gotten myself into this time?
Emily I hope nothing else happens to you.

After finding out about Scott's intentions to leave, Alejandro decided to tell Jennifer about what's going on with her husband.

Alejandro Hey, beautiful!
Jennifer (angrily) I have nothing to say to you. After all you did get us all fired at Davis'!
Alejandro Aww. C'mon! I'm sorry for all that! You know what? I'm going to try and make it up to you!
Jennifer How? You already caused enough damage to my marriage as it is!
Alejandro Just hear me out, okay?
Jennifer (grumbling) Fine. But you have five minutes!

Alejandro Okay, then. Remember your dumb, undeserving husband?
Jennifer Oh yeah? What about him?
Alejandro He's leaving town.
Jennifer (perks up to him) When?
Alejandro Tonight! In fact, he probably already left! So anyway...
Jennifer (shocked) WHAT?!

So Jennifer proceeds to leave the room.

Alejandro Wait! Where are you going?!
Jennifer To save my "dumb" husband from Helena and himself! That's what!

Just as Hannah and Greg are taken to a chauffeur to the train station, Jennifer screamed out to them to stop the car!

Jennifer STOP THE CAR!

Sapphiria (grumbling) Now what?

She stops the car with a long sigh. What does Jennifer want this time?

Jennifer hurries to the vehicle Greg and Hannah are in.

Sapphiria I'm in a hurry. Can't you wait?!
Jennifer I need you to follow that bug to the train station!
Sapphiria You need your head examined! No can do! I'm busy!
Jennifer Then the least you is drop me off somewhere where I can at least follow them!
Sapphiria Okay then. But after this, find you're on your own when it comes to a ride back! Otherwise, I'll lose my job!

Just as Jennifer gets into the car and leaves with the others, Lena, the new girl, looks on with worry.

Lena (to herself) I really don't think Scott's going to the train station. I better follow Jennifer just in case!

Then she has an idea. Perhaps if she borrows a car, she can help Jennifer.

 Lena hurries to the party room where Tiffany resides.

Tiffany Lena, hon! It's so fabulous to see you again!
Lena Nice to see you, too, Tiff! But I have a favor to ask of you.
Tiffany What that?
Lena I need to borrow your car.
Tiffany As long as it's back in one peace, go ahead, hon!
Lena Thanks! It helps out more than you know!
So Lena finds Tiffany's car and drives out to follow Jennifer's car to find her.

To be continued...

If Scott leaves town, can Lena help Jennifer move on with her life?  Find out next time!
